I have a few relatives that come to mind with this phrase. I have a grandma who talks…a lot. She is imperfect. I have an aunt that says the most inappropriate things at the most inappropriate times. Again, imperfect. Don’t we all know people like this? In some ways, unique to us, we are all people like this.
Yet in this imperfections, these people are at the same time perfect. My grandma, for example, will share so many amazing stories of her life. There are never any awkward silences in the conversation. My aunt and her inappropriate comments often break the ice at stressful times. Think funerals as an example. She makes others feel comfortable expressing themselves. Perfect!
Whatever perceived imperfections you may struggle with within yourself, know that they are perfect in their own way. Each of us bring something vital to the world that nobody else can. We are a blend of perfect imperfections.
When my kids were young we always told them that “normal” was the worst thing they could ever be called. Everyone should definitely strive for “perfectly imperfect” ❤️

What a great thought. “Normal” puts you at the mercy of others judgement. Be authentic. Be you. Be perfectly imperfect. Thank you so much for sharing!

I hope you can appreciate how perfect you are! I have never heard someone say “I wish they would have shared less.” But countless times have i heard people say, “I wish they would have shared more. ”
